Promethius
WOW, what can I say, absolutely fantastic, should have gotten around to saying something sooner, but no time. I've seen it twice and I might see it again. Ridley Scott comes through as I knew he would.

Wizard World Toronto Comic Con 2012
This weekend was the Wizard World Comic Con, held for the first time at the Toronto Convention Centre North Building. The last couple of years this event has been held at the Direct Energy Centre and I think moving it to the Convention Centre was a good idea as it's a bit more assessable. Wizard World is smaller Con that the famed Fan Expo, but the organizers so far have done a great job growing this event and it's been getting bigger and bigger each year. However, I believe this year was the exception. The crowd was noticeably smaller this time round, also instead of a three day event, they cut to two day, I'm not a big fan of that decision.
Wizard World had some decent actors at the this year. The line-up included Jeri Ryan, Paul Wesley, Scott Bakula, Dean Stockwell plus a few other I didn't recognize. Over-all though, I think they definitely need to add more personalities and the ones they do have should have spent more time signing. I saw Scott Bakula all of two minutes all weekend, not sure were he was.
Some great costumes this weekend, I love seeing all the sights, each year more and more people show up and this show aint just for geeks anymore.

Prometheus - Oficial Trailer
OK, if you can't get excited over this then you're probably dead. This can't hit the theaters soon enough.
Fan Expo 2011 - Toronto
Gary Kurtz signs my Star Wars Poster, this is the guy I was there to see. Gary produced not only Star Wars, but also the Empire Strikes Back.
Eliza Dushku signs some autographs at this years Fan Expo, she was actually supposed to be at last years event but had to bow out at the last minute.
Ahh the Fan Expo, it aint just for geeks anymore, there were quite a few girls walkin around with very little clothing, and ya gotta luv that.
Ghostbusters fans at the Fan Expo, this costuming group is getting more and more popular every year.
Willian Shatner signs some autographs at the Fan Expo. Crazy Bill was chargin $80.00 a shot, but I guess the Trekkie's didn't mind as they were lining up in droves.
Of cours my favorite group the 501st Legion was there in full force, approximately 70 members if I'm not mistake. These costumes are worth thousands of dollars and are all hand made.
Imperial Biker Scouts stand guard at the Lucasfilm booth helping promote the release of Star Wars on Blue ray, which became available on September 16. These guys always draw a bit crowd at the Fan Expo.
You'll never see so many different costumes in one place at one time as you will at the Fan Expo. What ever you're into, you'll find it at this event. It's also a great opportunity to take some really fantastic photographs as well. Of all the shots I took this weekend I think this is my favorite.
Wel they've started announcing the guest list for the 2012 Fan Expo so I though it would be a good idea to revisit some of the pics I took at last years event. It was a fantastic show they put on last year and they solved the overcrowding problems that plagued the 2010 event. Among the guest that made an appearance in 2011 were Katee Sackhoff, William Shatner, Larry Hagmen, Michael Biehn, Martin Landau, Anthony Daniels and Nichelle Nichols to name just a few. Looking forward to this years.

Dark Shadows 2012
Just saw a trailer for DARK SHADOWS, an adaptation of Dan Curtis' television series from the late 60s/early 70s, it hits theaters May 11... I'm a big fan of the redux TV series, circa 1991, staring Ben Cross and Joanna Going. Unfortunately the show was killed after just 13 episodes, don't get me started on that one. Anyway, as per the preview, it looks like they've turned it into some kinda comedy staring Johnny Deppe, my first impression isn't good, I'm definitely in no hurry to see this one. I predict a Rotten Tomato's rateing of 35 percent ...and I think I'm being pretty generous there ...We'll soon see how close my prediction is.
